What's a good nibble to have with a glass of wine that's more substantial than a bowl of peanuts, looks like I've made an effort, isn't a full on meal and is easy to do??

Please?

Bruschetta? You get ready made topping in a can if you really can't be bothered and just chuck it on toasted ciabatta and drizzle with olive oil.

mini oatcakes and smoked salmon

is this fora party?

Pittas houmous crudites and dips kind of thing? Maybe some pringles?

ps:loving your name!

Bruschetta? Get a big ciabbatta (sp?) and some salsa, chutneys, cheese etc and bascially make posh toasted cheese.

blinis and smoked salmon. quails eggs. smoked mackerel pate and little squares of rye bread.

or blinis

Ooops, cross post with nicky - I was too slow!

Make up wraps and cut into little tiny ones. You could use pre-packed salad and sandwich fillers to fill them

high five.

Oh good ideas, thanks! No not a party, just got a couple of friends coming back for a drink after an evening out. I want to make a bit of an effort but not overboard.

great minds, potpourri!

Warm some blinis in the the oven, put a teaspoon of creme fraiche on each one and a small piece of smoked salmon or a king prawn.
We had this at friends recently and it was delicious.

God I'm hungry now ...

cheese or anchovy straws
buy some puff pastry
roll out
cut in two
between the two sheets grate some parmesan or spread with a little anchovy paste
press the two sheets together and roll thin again with rolling pin
glaze with a beaten egg and cut into fine strips or straws.
bake in oven for 10-15 mins
delish

home made salsa always goes down well

Kettle chips (or similar) and good quality dips taken out of the packaging and garnished always makes people think you've made more effort than you have (I put a shake of paprika on hummous for e.g.)

These are lovely ideas thanks everyone. I love this sort of nibbly food.

There's always that I guess..

my mouth is watering...

• Stuffed eggs
• Slices of smoked sausage and some mustard to dip them in. Cocktail sticks for eating them with.
• Baked camembert
• Tuna mayo on little crackers with half olive on each.

quails eggs
get a few boxes of them, depending on how many, hard boil them, then run under cold water
serve with celery salt

or/and ciabatta with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping

cake

strips of smoked salmon, put some soft cheese like boursin in, and roll them up.

Or sausage rolls.
